Feminist Social Work Theory and Practice

Dominelli, Lena (2002) Feminist Social Work Theory and Practice , Hampshire, UK. Palgrave Macmillan, 208pp.

Abstract

Feminist theories of social work have been criticised in recent years for treating women as a uniform category and displaying insufficient sensitivity to the complex ways in which other social divisions (those of race, age, disability, etc.) impact on gender relations.
This major text by a leading writer in the field seeks to develop a new framework for feminist social work that takes on board postmodernist arguments to do with difference and power yet retains a commitment to collective solidarity and social change. As such, it will be essential reading for students, educators and practitioners alike in social work.
